We had this discussion months ago.  I was very vocal complaining about 
this "feature" but the Eazel folks wanted to make it look pretty.

Maybe now would be a good time to bring this up again.  Personally, I 
see nothing wrong with doing it the way GMC has always done it.  Matter 
of fact, I went back to GMC just for this reason.  (and it's a hell of a 
lot faster)
